Overview
Book is composed almost exclusively of flow-diagrams and pathways: this makes it reader friendly
Focuses on the issues of clinical importance, and excludes issues that are of marginal relevance for the clinician
Written with the awareness that medical personnel practising in ICUs are time-constrained: this book should be capable of being read rapidly
Clear and concise explanations are provided about the mechanisms operative in health and disease

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This is the first edition of a single author monograph describing the physiology of respiration and acid-base changes, diagnostic tests for evaluation, and their interpretation. … Medical students, postgraduate trainees, and their teachers are an appropriate audience for this work … . This is a unique, cohesive presentation which assembles not only a clinical strategy but a physiologic rationale." (David J. Dries, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2009)
